Fabrik 3.8.1 has been released. It is mostly bug fixes and feature enhancements, but does include two new plugins (push notifications, and the sequence element). As usual we strongly recommend testing the new release on a sandbox if your application is mission critical, and always do an Akeeba backup before updating.

You can override any template file by adding files into your Joomla template's html folder ...

So say I am using beez_20 as my site template, and I want to override default_row.php in the bluesky template:

I create a new folder templates/beez_20/html/com_fabrik/list/bluesky

Then I copy components/com_fabrik/views/list/tmpl/bluesky/default_row.php into it.

Finally I make my modifications in the copied file.

Another example might be overriding the layout of a plugin, for example the Yes/No plugin. The principle is the same but where you create the folder is different.

I create a new folder templates/beez_20/html/layouts

Then I copy plugins/fabrik_element/yesno/layouts/fabrik_element_yesno_list.php into it.

Finally I make my modifications in the copied file.

If you see any bugs or strange Fabrik behavior and you use template overriding- start fixing with overriding disabling. It's likely that there is a bug in your code not in Fabik. To temporary disable overriding simply rename your-site/templates/your template/html/com_fabrik folder to something else.
